Interviewee: ​Raamdeo Agrawal of Motilal Oswal

Interviewer: CNBC TV-18

Subject: India’s Back Against The Wall

Date: 20 August 2025

  • India’s domestic economy is slowing down. 
  • India must keep growing at 6.5%-7%-8% relentlessly. The power of compounding comes when you don’t break the compounding. To achieve this, we should not make incremental changes, but groundbreaking reforms. 
  • Government should undertake reforms in all ways possible – regulations, taxation, ease of doing business, etc. 
  • We have to make sure that a dollar buys the maximum worth of goods in India. We have achieved this in services.
  • Reduction in GST rates will have the most positive impact in manufacturing, especially in auto sector. 
  • Lower rate of taxes will bring in more collections and higher compliance. 
  • If India wants to be a competitive exporter, first we need to be competitive in the domestic market. 
  • Investing is a long term game, and not a one-two year holding period. 
  • Digitalisation is the biggest booster to the economy. There will be higher market participation, as a result. 
  • The world is changing to become more mercantile. It’s all about trade. Countries will form trade groups. India has the opportunity to become the Wall Street of the east and consumption centre of the east.
